Canoga Park stabbing suspect's father says family feared ‘it was a matter of time'

Parents of the man accused of firing rounds from an AR 15 rifle and stabbing a woman outside a Canoga Park restaurant said they long feared the call they received Thursday about their son.

Shayne Suffern, 29, was carrying an AR-15 rifle , 200 rounds of ammunition and 13 fully loaded 40-round magazines outside Westfield Topanga Mall when he was arrested after a series of terrifying events unfolded at midday Thursday outside a Cheesecake Factory in the west San Fernando Valley, police said. Several rounds were fired from the high-powered rifle -- no one was struck by gunfire -- before a woman was stabbed in what investigators said appeared to be a random attack.
